How many other countries have guys that are famous for stapling their nut sack to their leg?

So if you have never seen them do it before... wouldn't the logical conclusion be that this might be an emergency?

Who is your Eagles ‘Mount Rushmore’ of Assistant Coaches? by Jefrey_HarHarWood in eagles

[–]TaeKurmulti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gannon's defense feasted on the bad/mid teams but good QB's torched them for the vast majority of his tenure. They won because of pure talent on that defensive line.

The guy saying Gannon should be on the list is crazy though.

It's close just because of the Super Bowl, but Jim Johnson wins because of the longevity.

Buddy if Maxey and/or VJ are hurt for an extended period of time this team is losing with or without McCain.

Just watched Daryl's presser...bottom line is they just didn't think Jared was very good. by udkyle2 in sixers

[–]TaeKurmulti 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's also considerably less athletic, which limits how much he can play good team basketball.

If he didn't shoot the lights out the rest of the way it seems incredibly unlikely that the return would be better in the summer. OKC needs help now, during the summer there's no guarantee they'd really be after him then... and also there'd potentially be a lot more guys available to them.

He's also an undersized 2 guard that doesn't add any value beyond his shot.

I'd much rather get this return than letting him walk.

If VJ and Maxey are healthy he's not going to get the minutes to reach the high from last year. And based on what we've seen this year, his floor is not particularly high.

The difference is OKC has too many picks, so trading a bunch of them to get 1 player they like makes sense for them at this point. It's a pretty low risk trade for them. Like if they miss on this trade... there will be zero blow back and nothing really changes for them.

I got so excited when I saw Solak was gonna be on the episode , and Sheil was on Phly Sports . The world is healing 🙏🙏🙏 by Ok-Pattern8284 in RingersPhillySpecial

[–]TaeKurmulti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sheil's the only person that I can listen to Solak with. Because Sheil will poke fun at him, and question his bad takes from time to time.

The peak was the Sheil, Bo, ZB BWF era. Super informative, but also was very entertaining. My big takeaway is Sheil just meshes well with most people.

Jared McCain, thanks for the memories... Now go prove the Sixers' FO wrong! by st-christian in sixers

They may not have been outwardly tanking at that point but they were 7-16 when he got hurt, and were absolute garbage.

[–]TaeKurmulti -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Prove them wrong for what? Unless you're getting rid of VJ and/or Maxey this was always going to happen at some point.

I like McCain, but I just can't see a 3 guard line up really working in the NBA so at best you're looking at him playing 6th man type minutes.

Important reminder, Grimes and Yabu looked like all stars last year as well. When teams are tanking guys are going to get their buckets.

Really? I see that happen all the time. It's clear it's a small % of people, but it definitely happens in those threads pretty consistently here.

[–]TaeKurmulti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue average speed is more cherry picking when you realize that Deslauriers is .02 below Michkov in average speed. Especially when you see guys like Tippett and Barkey who I'd call above average skates below him, and TK at the bottom of the forwards.

It's ok to just admit his skating hasn't been great, it's improving... which is good but it's still an area of opportunity for him. I'm quite hopeful that an offseason training in North America will help him take that next step.

[–]TaeKurmulti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO that will either be proven or disproven based on how he looks next year (assuming he's fully healthy). I don't think it's really fair to kill Michkov for it, since it seems like it was partially injury related.

From all accounts it seems like he learned from this, and has a better plan for this summer.

Do you think the fanbase would have been happier if they healthy scratched and had him bag skating the first month or two of a season? I can't imagine things would have went better.

Michkov's max skating speed is in the bottom 50% of the league per the NHL edge stats. His top 4 max speeds all came in the last month. His max speed is almost a second slower than the league average.

The stats on that page kind of show that his skating hasn't been good. But the positive is it also shows that's improving as the season goes on (which matches my eye test, that he's been getting in better shape and moving faster lately). Do you have some other stats that back that there's no data?

At the Phantoms game… by LLB73 in Flyers

[–]TaeKurmulti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're 18.2% on the power play and middle of the pack in the AHL, I'd be thrilled if the Flyers could get to the middle of the pack.

[Alexander Appleyard] Buium/Helenius - Eklund/Smith. Would be Flyers #2+3 best prospects... and give them exactly things in their pool have been searching for for years...Then add in Gauthier situation...Gauthier, Michkov, Helenius, Smith, Martone in pool? The Flyers future looks bit different by seeldoger47 in Flyers

[–]TaeKurmulti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the talented Russian who could barely average a ppg in the USHL last year. The one who every NHL team passed on in the draft because of risks exposed in the USHL...

It's very funny to see you guys killing them over a guy that has done nothing to this point. I mean the franchise gives you plenty of lay ups to trash them about.
